Chisora hopes for ring return in March - as long as he receives licence from board

Heavyweight bad boy Dereck Chisora will return to the ring at Wembley Arena on March 16 - if he is cleared to fight by the British Boxing Board of Control.

The Londoner was stripped of his licence last year after a shameful brawl with David Haye at a post-fight press conference in Munich in February following his defeat by WBC world champion Vitali Klitschko.

The two protagonists settled their differences in the ring at Upton Park in July under the auspices of the Luxembourg Boxing Federation when Haye stopped the 29-year-old in the fifth round.

Chisora, who has taken anger management classes in a bid to convince the Board he is fit to hold a licence, expects to hear shortly whether he will be cleared to fight on the same card as world champions Ricky Burns and Nathan Cleverly and Commonwealth champion George Groves.

'We have done a lot of work. We have done some lessons. It's all good now,' he said.

'Last year is the past. Now is 2013 and we will move on in a good way.

'We are just going to continue the career now. I am feeling a million dollars.

'I want to put (the Haye) episode to bed, that's what I want to do.

'We will get this licence, get the fight out of the way and then we will move on to something else.'

There was a hint from Chisora that he is planning to create a few headlines in the run-up to the Wembley clash against his as yet unnamed opponent, however.

'Don't worry about anything. I will bring drama,' Chisora said with a smile.

Chisora and Haye settled their differences in the ring last July when the former world champion beat his opponent with a fifth round stoppage.

That defeat, Chisora's fourth in his last five bouts, led to more doubts the heavyweight could not mix it with the best, but he is confident he can land another world title shot in 2013.

Comeback: Chisora is set for ring return

He said: 'Boxing is dead man. It needs people like us to keep it vibing so we are going to be after a world title this year, 100 per cent.'

Promoter Frank Warren wants Chisora to make a low-key return and will name a little-known fighter for the March fight, but he then has his eyes on pitting his controversial fighter against fellow Britons Tyson Fury or David Price.

'That could happen,' Warren said.

'There are a great number of permutations with fighters from Britain.

'You have Haye, Fury, Price.. that's probably the strongest heavyweight division you have seen in many years and Dereck is well in the mix.'

An overweight Chisora slumped to a points defeat to Fury in a real slugfest at Wembley Arena two years ago and Warren thinks a re-match could be on the cards.

'I would like to see Dereck 100 per cent fit back in the ring again with Tyson Fury,' he said.

'It's his own fault what happened last time - he got beat by the better man on the night.

'I know Dereck could have done much more in getting ready for that fight and that could make a difference.'
